Pros:Good quality razor for money.For sensitive skin I recommend the Gillette Sensor Excel or gillette Mach 3.Nice and light to work with.
Cons:As usual blades are a bit expensive but still a lot cheaper than the four and five blade cartridges.
Bottom Line:My tip is shave in the bath not at the sink.Wash face with ultra mild soap wash off,put a little olive oil ie thin layer over face and neck and then use gillette fusion ultra protection shaving gel on top gives good glide shave with the grain in light short strokes,never,never shave against the grain you will get razor burn and rash.After you shave if you move your hand across the grain you will feel it still little rough,thats correct.remember a mans face after shaving should not be as smooth as babys bum its not natural.If like me you have really sensitive skin try the above recommendation and also if you dont have to shave every day DONT, let skin recover before next round.Ypu might also want to try shaving at night rather first thing in morning.I do and it works for me.You most likely will always have a bit of burn after shaving thats the type of skin we have and there is nothing else out there thats going to stop it.Just take it slow and try the above method it can only help.

Pros:gentle to skin, much cheaper blades
Cons:none
Bottom Line:I used a m3 power for over a year, then I switched to this mostly because of the much cheaper blade price. It ended up cutting just as close if not closer, and, best of all, it is much less irritating. After switching to this I am no longer afraid to shave because of irritation and razor burn.

Pros:Less irritation but just as close a shave, cartridge lasts me a couple weeks, less blades for easier navigation
Cons:Cartridges a bit spendy, nothing else.
Bottom Line:I've tried the triple blades, four blades, and yes, the FIVE BLADE! (I swear I'm not crazy!) Shaves were often -too- close, ingrowns and irritating bumps came later (I have sensitive skin). When I found a comparison claiming a double blade (this was the particular one) did just as good of a job as any of those fancier +bladed ones, I jumped for it. The cartridges are spendy, but still not as $$ as many of the others. I feel like they last longer. Plus, it's easier to shave grooves like under the jaw. The blades have springy plastic "shocks" that help minimize irritation while still shaving close.

Pros:no irratation, good shaving. gets every nook and crany

Bottom Line:ive used 4 blade, 3 blades and now 2 blades. i used to get bad razor burn form the 3 and 4 blades so i switched. i must say thats a thing of the past. though i dont get as close a shave anymore. still i rather the 2 blade over the others as its not painful to shave anymore

Pros:Minimal skin irritation
Shaves smoothly around the chin lines
Cons:Pricy blades
Doesn't shave as close as the ones with 3/4 blades, but that's why it helps to reduce irritation right.
Bottom Line:This rasor combined with a good shaving gel/cream and a rinse with cold water afterwards is about the softest shave you can get.

Pros:Very soft on skin (used to use the new Gillette Fusion) and a lot less expensive than other Gillette products. Works easier around corners. No aftershave burn.
Cons:A little expensive as far as razors go but not as bad as other Gillette products.
Bottom Line:DOn't be fooled by all the fancy new razors that are out. This one is by far the best for sensitive skin. I love it! And I have tried A LOT of razors!
